'Here we are. King Street.' He stopped.
我們到國王街了?!?他停下腳步。
'Thank you so much for coming to my aid,' said Polly in relief. 'Would you like to come in and rest for a while?'
“非常感謝您的幫忙,” 波莉松了一口氣,說,“您愿意進屋休息一會兒嗎?”
'It's very nice of you,' said the man, 'but I'll be off.
“謝謝你的熱心腸,” 老人說,“但我該走了。
There may be more people lost today, and I'd like to help them.
今天說不定還有更多的人會迷路呢,我想去幫幫他們。
You see, a fog this bad is rare. It gives me the chance to pay back the help that people give me when it's sunny.
你知道,像這樣糟糕的大霧是很罕見的。但是這卻給了我一個機會,我可以回報在晴天里人們所給予我的幫助了。
A blind person like me can't get across the road without help, except in a fog like this.'
像我這樣的瞎子沒人幫助是無法過街的,除非是在像這樣的大霧里?!?/p>
